Web browsing environment provider system for multiple users and control method thereof

Abstract

Provided are a web browsing environment provider system for multiple users, in which a remote server computer is used, and a method of controlling the system. The system includes a user device on which a user interface is displayed for reading a web page and controlling web browsing, and a web browsing environment server efficiently generating and managing an independent web browsing environment for each respective user device, notifying the user device about a state of the independent web browsing environment, rendering a web page, executing active contents contained in the web page, transmitting a web page image that is rendered to the user device, and controlling an operation requested by the user device to operate in the web browsing environment, thereby saving on resources related to performance. Thus, multiple users can perform the same level of web browsing operation as in a personal computer (PC) that is a main device of web browsing by using a user device having lower performance than the PC or low compatibility with the PC.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a web browsing environment provider system for multiple users, in which multiple users can perform the same level of web browsing operation as in a personal computer (PC) that is a main device of web browsing by using a user device having lower performance than the PC or low compatibility with the PC, and a control method of the web browsing environment provider system for multiple usersBACKGROUND ART[0002]As wireless Internet has been widely used, user devices such as cellular phones have established as information terminals that can be used anywhere. Thus, user s requirements to use cellular phones for performing web browsing that is mainly performed via Internet have increased. To satisfy these user s requirements, software and mobile communication fields have created the terminology full browsing that performed in a cellular phone so as to have the same level of web browsing operation as in a personal computer (PC), and resea...

Benefits of technology

[0010]According to the present invention, a web browsing operation is performed by a web browsing environment server having the same or higher performance compared to a personal computer (PC) and perfect compatibility with the PC. When multiple users perform web browsing operations by using a single web browsing environment server, a user can have the respective web browsing environment that is independent upon another user, and as many as possible users can perform web browsing operations in the single web browsing environment server. Thus, multiple users using user devices having lower performance than the PC or low compatibility with the PC can perform the same level of web browsing operations as in a PC that is a main device of web browsing by using a single browsing environment server.

Problems solved by technology

However, the following problems arise from the full browsing executed in cellular phones.

That is, since web pages are assumed to be displayed and be operated in a device having a similar level of performance to a PC when the web pages are created, it is difficult to display the web pages on a cellular phone having lower performance than that of the PC.

For example, although the web pages exhibit complicated images varying at high speed by flash and dynamic layout, the performance of a cellular phone is insufficient to appropriately display these images, and it is difficult for the cellular phone to render and construct theses images.

Thus, a cellular phone that is not compatible with PCs in terms of the OS and CPU cannot display and use the elements such as ActiveX control.

To overcome this problem, a method of copying and embodying a PC environment in a cellular phone may be considered, but this method has no practical use due to the low performance of the cellular phone.

In addition, an intermediate server may construct an environment in which the elements such as ActiveX control can be executed, but it may be difficult to connect the elements to other contents that are rendered by the cellular phone.
